Have any of you ever used an internet cafe' or Cyber Cafe'? Just curious and if so what was your experience? I know most people here are computer geeks or whatever but still have you gone to one and what are they like?

I've been to one YEARS ago w/my aunt...I never used the computers myself but it seemed like a pretty neat thing to try. The place I went to was expensive, and I know Arabica has a cover charge or something to use wireless internet services for your laptop while you're in their coffee shop. *shrugs* I'm also interested on hearing other people's opinions on this because like I said, it'd be a neat thing to try!

ya i work at one thats for gamers.

We only have one here in Thunder Bay and it is for Gaming only. I think it's a great idea for students etc. to get together and do their homework or chat or whatever while having a coffee or something. We have tons of coffee shops like in the Borders Bookstores or Chapters or whatever coffee shops and an internet connection would begreat I think. They aren't that expensive, I've seen 4 dollars for 30 minutes or an hour. That's not bad if you're in from out of town with no net. They even have swipe cards that you can load and use what you want at a time.

we have a few in Calgary, but I have never been...not really my thing, I would rather be on my own computer.

I've been wanting to open a shop like this for a long time now. whether it be just a coffee shop with a wireless connection. or a gamers cyber cafe. but i really want to do it.

I've been through several internet cafes in Thailand, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Guam. It's ok if you're away from your computer. Still prefer playing on my computer though.
